"And now about prayer.When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who pretend piety by praying publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. Truly, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, all alone, and shut the door behind you and pray to your Father secretly, and your Father, who knows your secrets, will reward you."

“Don’t recite the same prayer over and over as the heathen do, who think prayers are answered only by repeating them again and again.Remember,your Father knows exactly what you need even beforeyou ask Him!"

“Pray along these lines: ‘Our Father in heaven, we honor Your holy name. We ask that Your kingdom will come now. May Your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven. Give us our food again today, as usual, and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. Don’t bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One. Amen.' (Matthew 6: 5-14)

"You can get anything--anything you ask for in prayer--if you believe." (Matthew 21: 22)
